Public Service Announcement

What follows is an unpaid commercial advertisement...

Between now and Tuesday, if you buy a minimum of 3 books from Nightshade, you'll get 50% off your order.

This is not some nambypamby, oh-wouldn't-it-be-great-if-Heinlein-were-still-alive-and-people-still-wrote-like-E.E. Smith publisher. No, these people publish Nick Mamatas (and let him work for them, too).

So you could get Nick's Kerouac-meets-Cthulhu novel Move Under Ground in hardcover for $12.50.

Or then there's Zoran Zivkovic's The Fourth Circle, of which Tim Pratt wrote in the June Locus: "...Zivkovic has created a marvelously inventive work of science fiction with metaphysical underpinnings. He weaves mathematics, the multiverse, alien intelligences, otherworldly religions, Buddhism, Hindu mythology, artificial intelligence, Faustian bargains, literary pastiche, humor, and historical figures into his narrative. The writing is wonderful, sometimes dense and forboding, sometimes light and allusive, never less than accomplished, and always well-suited to the artistic task at hand." (And it has a cover by K.J. Bishop!)
